Pedro Sobrado
Pedro Sobrado is a prominent figure in the Portuguese cultural scene, known for his leadership at Teatro Nacional São João (TNSJ). Recently, he returned to the presidency of the theater's board after being previously dismissed from the newly established public entity, Museus e Monumentos de Portugal. His recent involvement in the arts has been marked by controversy following the failure of an international competition for the artistic direction of TNSJ, largely attributed to the withdrawal of the selected winner, filmmaker Tiago Guedes, which sparked discussions around artistic xenophobia.
